A moving portrait of a nation that couldn’t account for all it had lost in a war that it won.
Containing all the wistful English cheekiness of Dad’s Army and M*A*S*H, Queen and Country is as the new romantic and charming comedy from John Boorman (writer/director of Hope and Glory).
It’s 1952, and the Korean War is in full swing. Bill (Callum Turner), a burgeoning cinephile without a lick of interest in being forced to shoot at strangers several thousand miles away, is whiling away his youth on the idyllic U.K. island home he shares with his parents, but it’s only a matter of time before his conscription notice arrives.
A direct sequel to John Boorman’s classic Hope and Glory, Queen and Country begins where that film leaves off, continuing the director’s autobiographical account of his relationship with war and the collateral effect it has on the people at its periphery.
“A deeply personal memoir… it makes you feel you’re part of the same experience.” Rex Reed, New York Observer
